What are /r/virtualprivatenetwork's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Yup you pay it upfront. I would say only do pay up front for cheaper reliable VPNs like PIA or TorGuard. ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and others try to rope you in with 2 year packages or yearly packages, but aren't worth it.

These vpn providers software was testing by a respected member of the comunity over at wilderssecurityforums and reveals that they all leak the users IP address except for about six of them; how the tests were done is clearly explained so these are all repeatable by anybody who is interested

My question is why have Torguard and Private Internet Access and the others not responded to these and written something about them on Reddit or anywhere?

Here are some popular VPN providers matched up against each other.

TorGuard is known for speed and good customer support. PIA is super cheap. AirVPN is a good middle ground but a bit outdated IMO.

I'd say it's a toss up between Hide My Ass and IPVanish. I'd personally go with IPVanish as it is also a no-log VPN where HMA isn't. So you get the easy to use client without the logging too. I wrote a bit of an article about it over here if you want to learn more.

As a general rule you should. If you can fairly easily hide your illegal activity, why wouldn't you? ExpressVPN, PIA and TorGuard () are all highly regarded VPN providers accepting torrenting. My personal choice is TorGuard, but you might have other preferences.

/r/VPN is obviously owned by AirVPN, and the other VPNs, owned by thatoneguy, are now completely dead since he deletes everything. If something isn't in the right thread, he deletes it. If it contains a link, he deletes it. If you recommend a VPN, he probably deletes it. Really the only thing you can post in other VPN subreddits is strict technical talk.

My favorite VPN provider is Privatoria https://privatoria.net/ Absolutely reasonable pricing, one-click registration, no logs stored, got servers in 63 countries, plus their service of "doubled security" - VPN+Tor. I sure like it a lot! :)

I think you should try this before spending much in setting up separate server https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jaguarvpn.jaguar_vpn

Don't listen to this guy, NordVPN is notorious for being the "noob VPN" of the industry. It got hacked and didn't tell anyone for a year. ExpressVPN is grossly overpriced.

I really only recommend TorGuard or WeVPN. Both are $5 a month or $30 a year with promo codes, 1/3rd of the price of NordVPN and ExpressVPN.

Come over to my community to chat with more experienced VPN users:

If you search for "VPN" in Google, you will find NordVPN, Hotspot Shield and ExpressVPN in the list of top VPNs.

So I think you can choose a VPN from any of these three.

Note: Google Search Result may vary due to the location of the user and Google's policy.

Trying to do this to watch my Ravens from Florida, no mobile VPNs have worked so far (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, TurboVPN, Windscribe). I connect to a server, open YouTubeTV and it still shows the local Florida game slate. I don't have a PC either so guess I'm stuck streaming it from some sketchy site on a burner phone?

I just use this app and cast just about any game to my TV.

I also use fakegps to watch my local news when I'm away through YouTube TV.

You just need a good internet connection around 10Mbps or above, this will allow the stream to run smoothly without being choppy because a slow internet connection. For a VPN I use ExpressVPN which works with Netfliks - although it is one of the more expensive VPN providers out there IMO it is the most reliable and stable one I have used

Certain VPN providers have what is called a "proxy" or "bittorrent proxy". It just masks your IP while torrenting. This sounds like what you want? They also have less speed loss than VPN. While I'm not a fan of NordVPN and I would recommend swapping out when you can due to: (slow speeds, expensive, questionable reputation) I did manage to find this that could help you.

Very good advice, this has exactly been my experience. I tested about half a dozen VPNs including NordVPN which has by far the biggest PR machine on the market, and finally went with my initial gut feeling that TorGuard would be the best bang for my buck. I tried PIA for several years back but never got decent speeds when torrenting, however it might very well have been due to low spec hardware.

Everyone should use a VPN to protect themselves on the internet. The whole purpose of a VPN is to keep users private information.. private. Essentially a VPN creates a virtual tunnel between you and a remote server. Some VPN providers give you access to thousands of different IP addresses in dozens of countries ultimately making your web traffic impossible to trace back to you. When considering a VPN provider I would always choose a paid VPN server like Forcefield, Tunnelbear, or, NordVPN to ensure maximum online anonymity.

Depends if you are using iOS or Android. If you don't want to set up PPTP manually or use the 3rd party OpenConnect app to see an overview of what apps are available with various VPNs.

In my opinion the 2 VPNs with the best mobile clients for iOS are ExpressVPN and VyprVPN. For Android , ExpressVPN, VyprVPN, StrongVPN are all good.

I have tried both, and liked them equally.

I do like that TorGuard has multiple clients (Their proprietary client, and then an openvpn compatible list) and outstanding linux support as well.

I recommend Torguard if you use linux, PIA if you're on windows.

If you torrent, get TorGuard. OpenVPN has a no torrenting policy in their TOS. I didn't like that because i frequently download and seed ISO's 24/7 for many Linux Distro's, and didn't want to have any headaches with PIA. TorGuard specifically allows torrents on specific servers, and the speeds are decent.

PIA doesn't work for Netflix. TunnelBear is OK, but I can't verify they work either. Check out this list which has some good VPNs that work for Netflix and football matches.

See this could be dependent on your budget, as there are many great VPN but far too expensive, so according to me the best VPN that is suitable for all in terms of price is Hidemyass or SaferVPN, it’s these two VPN that you should be happy with given the price is quite reasonable while there are enough support to make you work through nicely. If you look for others then you got to increase the budget.

Personally, i suggest you try ExpressVPN. They are known over the internet for a while now and as far as I know they have lots of servers around different countries. For its downside, they are a bit pricey but they are fast.

Yes, I think so. NordVPN and BlackVPN both has solid foundation for security. Both are using AES256 bit for data encryption,this is definitely one of the most secure out on the market. Having this information, you can say that it is good. However, good still depends on which feature you want a VPN should have.

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm not affiliated with any VPN. I'm a normal user, who's testing (and using) different VPN services, from the enduser perspective, find bugs, and help the overall concept of VPN to be improved. Now, after the introduction, I'd like to thank for your hard work and the nice article you've posted. But, I must disagree with some of the providers you've mentioned as being bad ones. For the simple reason that I've also been testing them, and I cannot complain (not much at least).

• CyberGhost - I'm using their service for many years. Indeed, you might be right on some aspects, but lately (not sure if you've tested any of their latest apps), things have drastically improved. Speed went up, fast connectivity times, great new interface (at least on iOS), dedicated profiles within the app for Anonymity, Streaming, etc. Advice: give it a new try

• NordVPN - I've subscribed last week, for a test drive. So far, no complains at all. Service is nice, fast, great security (speed might be affected in some cases because of the double VPN or Tor over VPN service, if you choose those servers). On OS X the app is fluid, fast connecting times. Advice: give it a new try

I'm not sure how old are your reviews (quite old for some of them as I could see from the screenshots), but I say some of them worth a new review.

You must make a live from it, I get it. But advising users "not to use" this one, or that one, based on older reviews, it's not nice. As a professional VPN reviewer, I think you should be testing most or all of the new versions of a VPN provider app, in order to make pertinent opinions and give a really good advice for your readers.

My apologies for offending somehow, it wasn't my scope. Just wanted to provide a subjective opinion. Or, just my 50 cents :)

Cheers, V.

That’s interesting Gzegozas, I heard a lot of people having difficult time with NordVPN and even here I found article that was highlighting the cons of that VPN. Anyway, I believe given you’re using it from so long they might be good. Btw, what’s their rates and did you went for whole year or got it monthly basis?

No doubt PIA and Total VPN are best cheap options with the quality for a good streaming speed however, they can't beat ExpressVPN in terms of streaming servers that is awesome.

Forgive my ignorance, but why is Airvpn outdated?

I had Torguard for a while and it was a good experience. When I needed a vpn again, I decided to give Airvpn a whirl. So far not too bad but its been less than a month.

My favourite VPN is IPVanish. Great client, easy to use, has a built in kill switch, and they allow torrents. That's everything I need, I talk about them more on my website if you want all my thoughts.

IPVanish haas a new client for Mac that I use, I'm pretty sure it only works for 10.11 and up still. I wrote a blog about it if you wanna learn more.

I'd recommend any service that is located closest to you. Also, don't fall for advertisements, they are just that, they are out there to influence viewers to pay for a product/service. Honestly, PIA and AirVPN are both, generally, highly recommended VPN services. You can't go wrong with those two.

VPN while gaming will slow you down...

You should use a server closest to you and a VPN provider that offers fast speeds. ExpressVPN is good for this, TunnelBear and PIA were too slow for gaming last time I checked.

Funny, but Netflix still doesn't give a shit. For anyone wondering, the best VPNs for Netflix as of right now are TorGuard and ExpressVPN. NordVPN works OK, but the client is meh, while other VPNs like BufferedVPN claim to work but are also meh in terms of application performance and speeds. PIA also doesn't work, despite their CEO coming here to claim otherwise...
